Characterization of the genotoxic potential of formaldehyde in V79 cells.

چکیده
Formaldehyde (FA) is known to be genotoxic and mutagenic in proliferating mammalian cells in vitro. The present study was performed to further characterize its genotoxic potential in the V79 Chinese hamster cell line. The induction of DNA strand breaks and DNA-protein cross-links (DPXs) was measured by the comet assay in relationship to the induction of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and micronuclei (MN). Induction of DNA strand breaks was found neither with the standard protocol of the alkaline comet assay nor with modifications using extended electrophoresis times or proteinase K. The concentration-effect relationship for the genotoxic effects was characterized by fitting different curves to the data. A two-phase regression model fitted best in comparison with a linear or a quadratic model and indicated practical thresholds for the induction of SCE and MN. For the induction of DPX as measured by the comet assay, neither a linear concentration-response relationship nor any of the tested models fitted well to the data. Three repeated treatments with genotoxic concentrations of FA with a 3-h interval led to enhanced levels of DPX and MN while the same treatments with a 24-h interval did not enhance FA genotoxicity but suggested adaptive protection against the DNA-damaging action of FA.

Evaluation of genotoxic potential induced by marine cage culture
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The eutrophication process is increased by anthropogenic or aquaculture facilities in marine ecosystems. DNA damage biomarkers for fish species detect genotoxic parameters for ecological risk assessment. The aim of the present study was to determine genotoxic potential induced by marine cage culture in Iskenderun Bay on gilthead sea bream (Sparus ...
متن کاملArylamines suppress their own activation and that of nitroarenes in V79 Chinese hamster cells by competing for acetyltransferases.
The effect of 2-aminofluorene (2-AF) on the toxicity of 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA) and 1,6-dinitropyrene (1,6-DNP) was studied in N-acetyltransferase-proficient V79-NHr1A2 cells genetically engineered for the expression of cytochrome P4501A2, and in wild-type V79-NH cells. 2-AA inhibited the growth of V79-NHr1A2 cells and induced the formation of micronuclei at concentrations of 0.1 to 1.0 microM...
متن کاملN-acetylation of three aromatic amine hair dye precursor molecules eliminates their genotoxic potential.
N-acetylation has been described as a detoxification reaction for aromatic amines; however, there is only limited data available showing that this metabolic conversion step changes their genotoxicity potential. To extend this database, three aromatic amines, all widely used as precursors in oxidative hair dye formulations, were chosen for this study: p-phenylenediamine (PPD), 2,5-diaminotoluene...
متن کاملElectrocatalytic oxidation of formaldehyde on novel composite of nickel/triton-x100/poly(o-aminophenol-co-aniline)
Oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) is very important, owing to its use in fuel cells. Modification of electrodes surfaces is an excellent way to decrease the overpotentials as well as to increase the current density of the voltammetric response.pt as most efficient metal catalyst can easily be poisoned by product of oxidation and also it has high cost. In this work an efficient and low cost elect...
